Moral and moral standards exist in order to regulate people's behavior. However, more and more people do not want to reckon with such norms of behavior, giving themselves more freedom, and often infringing on the rights of another person.
Spiritual degradation is expressed not only in infringement of the rights of another person. It also includes crime, degeneration of culture, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc. The degradation of even one person affects society as a whole. This person shares his thoughts with friends, relatives, writes on forums in social networks. He has like-minded people. These like-minded people also share their spiritually low thoughts and theories. If a morally “pure” person somehow falls into the company of moral degradants, then, in most cases, he himself becomes one of them. Many such groups of friends "convert" a huge number of people. Such groups are engaged in joint vandalism, crimes, members of such companies - drug addicts, alcoholics. Most people no longer pay attention to such groups, perceiving them as a common attribute of society. The spiritual degradant is not interested in global problems. He does not care about cultural values. So there is a problem of lowering the moral development of citizens. Many people blame technical inventions for this: on television and on the Internet they promote immorality and humiliation of individuality, which means that television and the Internet are to blame. These are just things, they themselves can not do anything, the only problem is how to use certain objects and technologies. One of the reasons for the moral degradation of man and society as a whole is the strong elevation of material and economic values over cultural ones. Whatever a person does, just to get rich. Neither environmental problems, nor destruction, nor numerous deaths will stop him. For most modern people, money comes first in their lives. A money fan community is much easier to manage. It is enough to mention a well-paid job, as many people will agree almost without hesitation, not paying attention to the dubious reputation of the employer or to the dishonesty of the work itself. Thus, various scams are born. There are many facets to spiritual degradation. People try to get rid of its consequences, not trying to destroy the cause of these consequences. Only getting rid of the degradation of the morality of the population can we get rid of most of the global problems of the modern world.
